Improving Clinical Outcomes of Auditory Brainstem Implantation with Speech-Evoked Auditory Brainstem Responses
Brief description of study
The goal of this study is to improve the reliability of acquiring open-set speech recognition following ABI placement for retrocochlear deafness, to evaluate whether state of consciousness influences speech-based ABR.
The researchers hypothesize that:
1) It will be possible to elicit speech-based ABR from surgically anesthetized patients.
2) Surgically anesthetized patients will have a different waveform when under sedation compared to when awake. To elicit speech-based ABR from surgically anesthetized patients. Surgically anesthetized patients will have a different waveform when under sedation compared to when awake.
Study participants will include volunteers at Pennsylvania Hospital, Department of Neurosurgery, undergoing neurosurgical procedures - for which they will be surgically anesthetized and for which they will be undergoing BAER recordings as part of the standard of care for their planned intervention.
